"phantom" objects in .svg files
I am just curious: When you delete an object from your .svg file, does it actually get rid of the associated XML, or just not display it any more?
I do a lot of stuff in Inkscape and then import the .svg into Blender for extrusion, etc. I find that sometimes I get "extra" objects in Blender when I do this, i.e., the object that was deleted.
...and I am just wondering where these objects come from...

There is a button to open the XML editor/viewer. Edit->XML Editor (A little window icon with <> in it) It's worth watching what happens there as you select and edit (and delete) in the design window. You can also edit the SVG from that window.

You can 'vacuum' the defs File->Vacuum Defs, this cleans a lot of gumpf (a technical term that I cannot explain without killing you first ;) ) out of the XML file.
hth, \d
Can I ask you a "counter"-question? Do you have experience with EXPORTING from Blender into Inkscape? There seem to be a couple of scripts out there that seem to do this, apart from that they don't...? Blender & Inkscape could be a realy interesting combination. One could create a 3d-wireframe in Blender, find a nice perspective and then fill it in in Inkscape, hence retrieving a vector-drawing from it.
